London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

You should get some double straps, if you're keeping it brakeless.

doubles 4 sure!

got my eyes on some!

My 1st slave, finally complete (apart from grips)

i don't understand, you spend £35 on a paul lever but have a conversion?!?

easy dale- now head to west drinks.

im getting a pair of MKS (njs) double straps in in the next day or two if u are interested

easy there ... i think its a good effort, and parts are made to be swapped out.. I would much rather see cute bits on a doable frame than tat on a sweet one

Jesus's dale this is way you have very few friends. I have a conversion and a chris bling head set. and they look nice.Who gives?????
i think you need to remove your head from your ass more often.

there was a time Dale whe you had a conversion as your main roll. I know, I've looked at every single page of this godforsaken thread.

Mandem can spend what he wants on what he wants. Conversions are rad anyway. I, too, am intrigued by your "conversions ain't worth a bling" obsession.

merely a comment, hence ?

FFS

no, "?" is what we're wondering..... ;)

last time i checked dale, track frames didn't cost £35. :)

shin, your pink bike just blew my cock off. what rims pray tell?

dogs..



what-evah! :P

what this pink bike...


sorry cruz disease has kicked in... dt swiss 1.2s DA hubs.
now get back to work.

ouch! zing! dura-ace hubs'll look great. same seat?

shit-the-bed, it's brilliant.

I don't see what's wrong with wanting the make the most out of a redundant frame.

Plus, nearly all those parts can be moved on to a track frame if I find one that takes my fancy enough.

nope getting a new saddle... once payday is here.... oh its fucking today woop woop!

@ hvadhir

bikes a beaut mate. one of the nicest i've seen. what colour/effect are those deep vs?
yea i would have filed down the frame before the spray. but otherwise perfect!

@ dale
conversions can me more comfortable than pistas cos of there relaxed geometry. Sometimes i wish i thaught of that before I'd bought my track frame (but then i tell myself that i'm too young to be buying bikes for comfort). but i agree that there are nicer road frames out there to convert.

Ray your bike is making me green with envy. Now I'm going to have to spend money on something to make myself feel better.

You cunt.

Dude thats a seriously tidy bike. I like it a lot.

Don't worry about dogsballs comments, he's just upset with life as he hasn't had sex in a very very long time.

i would have liked to file down the frame but i bought it how it is, the deep v's are limited edition woodgrain apparantly!

appreciating the love.

Hi all, New here and not looking to offend anyone, but seen a couple of Mountain Bikes in the thread, so here is me and my bike.
Single speed Merlin with On-One carbon forks. My commuting steed while I build a fixed.

p.s. any thoughts on Dolan track frames? Any help appreciated.

Cheers, Duncan.

I'm extremely sorry but I find that aesthetic abhorrent. Maybe your fixed might be an improvement.

Are you talking about Shin's bike?

I think 50/14 is talking about mine, if so, it's a tempory solution.

Please not: Extreme pangs of jealousy whenever I see a nice fixed in town.

Super HHSB . . .


Yea I Know All The Tread Is Gone . . .


On The PostIT . . .

And Me . . .

I fucking love that bike, I don't care what everyone think, that bike look fantastic!

I just stabbed my eyes out with a fork. Lucky I can touch rtow!

After months of forum-stalking and sitting on the sidelines, wistfully reading about everybody else's bikes... at long last, I finally have an HHSB of my very own.

It was built by Paul at Kiwi Cycles. Don't ask me what the components are, I have no idea. The frame is brand-new, I don't think it's particularly well-known, I'm not sure who it's made by. But Paul trusts it, and he seems to know what he's talking about, so I'll take his word for it. I do know that it's "tange steel double butted tubing - TIG welded" (that probably makes more sense to you than me). It's commuter-friendly (double bottle bosses, can accommodate mud guards and a rack).

The saddle is butt-ugly (har har har) but very comfy, and this is one of those rare situations where I will pick function over form.

Am using the single-speed hub for now, will give the fixed side a try after I get more familiar with my new baby.

Look for me on the way between Whitechapel and Victoria!

[Edit] P.S. Just realized that I made a schoolboy error... should've taken the pics of the bike from its right side.

i don't know what looks better..........

Just realized that I made a schoolboy error... should've taken the pics of the bike from its right side. Doh! Oh well, I'm sure y'all get the gist of it.
